Hi everyone,

I'm new to JDorama and just want to write my first post so that I can vote for Misaki and her dramas. First saw her act in Densha Otoko. From there, I watched You're Under Arrest, Kiken na Aneki and now I'm about to watch Sapuri. Heard that the ratings for Sapuri isn't that good... hope her popularity won't be affected.

Will continue to root for her.

- "Turtle"? Is that something I'll only understand after watching the show? I still haven't got a chance to start... stupid work committment!

- By the way, has everyone here voted for Misaki already? She's ranked 27??? WTF? Age is probably an issue... but its ridiculous considering some of the actor/actresses ranked higher than her. Come on guys!

dude, don't worry. There's plenty of 'actors' in the top50 who shouldn't be there and no, I'm not naming them, because their fans will eat me alive

Oh i see...
My Japanese language is limited to "must-read-subtitles-to-understand-anything-at-all-level".

Must start at least one episode tonight... Will just substitute sleep for Misaki tonight... and doze off at meetings tomorrow.

Just finished Sapuri. Slow start and the relationships and characters are not 100% convincing... but still enjoyable nonetheless (I guess I'm somewhat biased as a Misaki fan...)

So when is the next Misaki JDorama coming out? I heard its called Maison Ikkoku... but anyone have any idea when it will be out? Can't wait...

Anyway, in the mean time, what new series are good to watch (as I wait for the next Misaki JDorama)?

Thx

Maison Ikkoku will air sometime this year, although I'm not sure when, on TV Asahi. I hope it's good!!

If I remember the anime correctly (didn't watch it)... I think Misaki's role in Maison Ikkoku will be meek and submissive again (correct me if I'm wrong). Even though the story of Sapuri wasn't that good... at least we were able to see a different side of Misaki.

In Densha, You're Under Arrest, and Kiken na Aneki, her roles were always a bit clueless in some way or another. I like her better when she is portraying an intelligent woman. What about you guys? Which of Misaki's many roles do you guys prefer most?

(Kind of gathering feedback to find out which other Misaki JDorama is worth downloading and watching next... )

She should play the role of Otonashi Kyoko, the widowed apartment manager of Maison Ikkoku. I wouldn't say she was meek, as she would definately show her displeasure with Godai quite freely. I'm curious as to who will play him as well as the trio of insane apartment mates. As in Sapuri, Misaki will play a character that is a slightly older than Godai.

Saw this video recently on YouTube regarding a movie called Last Love starring Misaki. Is that coming soon? Or is it something in the past? (Sorry, i totally did not know what was said in the video).

Anyone have any idea whether the storyline will be any good? The 10-15 second trailer looks a bit boring... but hey, what do I know since I can't understand japanese anyway.
